RE: LIVING The Legacy

2019-JAN-03-0017Hrs

My Fellow Mausicans,

Here is an idea for us in " Living The Legacy " and also "Leaving A Legacy".

Recently at Holy Cross Episcopal Church in Decatur, GA , a  " The Holy Cross Tree of Life" was unveiled in memory of one of its members who was a longtime benefactor and who had left a substantial monetary gift to the church.

I immediately thought of our beloved MTC and how fitting it would be to plant "Trees of Life" in memory of all the visionaries and the students who fulfilled the dreams of Dr. Eric Williams, Harry Joseph, Daphne Pilgrim Cuffie , Fitz James Williams. Hamlyn Dukhan, Beryl Woods,  Linda Edwards,  Ms. Hordatt and so many others.

For example St Mary's Anglican Church, in Tacarigua, Valsayn Tearchers College, NAPA and SAPA and NALIS all have ample wall space to plant such trees to memorialize  those visionaries. Donors will  water and fertilize the roots with their monetary gifts. Green leaves of varying sizes will create forests to fund our dreams.

Who will manage the money?

Let's sit down and talk. Work out the details just as the founders of MTC debated and fought many a battle to make our campus a reality. We have the will. We will find a way. Let's make 2019 a year of focused action.

Mr. Williams words still haunt me ."You  do it."

We must do it.  If we are to leave a legacy; then we have to live the legacy.

Our graduates who are all over the world can plant "Trees Of Life" wherever they are.

As usual,
